you shouldn't have to change the fluid but if you do make sure you only use the correct toyota fluid.
There should be a drain plug on the bottom of the transmission. To fill you use the dipstick tube.
To check the level drive the car for at least 15 minutes to get the fluid to temperature. Park on level ground, slowly move the gear selector from Park all the way to L and back again (wait a second or two at each position). Once back at park remove the dipstick and check the level against the hot marks. (The cold marks are only a guide when replacing the fluid so you should always check against the hot marks).
Remember the engine should be running when checking the level.
